COURSE MATERIALS

The CBCS Faculty Review Board carefully evaluates the contents of seminal works in the field before adopting course material as a part of the curriculum. Approved selections represent the world's greatest Theological authors, they share a Bible based ancient/contemporary viewpoint of problems facing the Church, the world community, congregations, you and I. The courses cover an extensive selection of the subject material one should expect to find in the traditional College. CBCS students are encouraged to assist in the selection of their course work. Since there are no CBCS "core courses" you can choose whatever you feel would enhance your ministry the most. If you have a particular subject or book you want to study for credits, please call for an approval. CBCS text books, cassettes, and video tapes are about the same price as the Christian book stores. These items are not included in the tuition cost. All materials are mailed/shipped to you rate paid from the CBCS Book Store.  Books and study materials are subject to price change (and availability) without prior notice.

COURSE WORK INSTRUCTION

All courses require a text book - plus your ever-present Bible. Some courses are provided with a Study Guide (designated SG in the Catalog). The Study Guides are complied of true/false, multiple choice, fill in and matching, no essay or book report is required when the Study Guide is used. Courses which are not provided with a Study Guide require an essay or book report. Each chapter or part in the text book is a lesson assignment. Write a one to five page essay or summary per chapter in your own words which correctly reflects the authors viewpoint. Your papers should be double-spaced lines whether typed or handwritten. Do Not copy the book (you'll have a perfect paper and a failing grade).

Your courses may be mailed in portions or in completed form, you will receive a prompt grade report. At your option you may resubmit a lesson if you feel the grade you receive is less than your best efforts. Please follow the course work instructions you will receive with your acceptance agreement, and copy the cover sheet that is to accompany any course work when it is mailed in for grading. Every course is valued at 5 credits unless stated differently. As you pursue your course of study, you may want to change your pre-selected courses, subject, or the major field of academic concentration. The option is yours and all your earned credits will be honored without penalty.

  . . . a word about You Set Your Own Pace

For the vast majority of our students, the freedom of study in their selection of course work, at the place and time of their own choosing is a blessing. Campus colleges are very expensive compared to home study and most dedicated pastors are reluctant to leave their family, church, employment, and community responsibilities to attend one. At CBCS, we feel that it is important for you to have the option to set your own time frame - within reason - for both academic and financial requirements.

Your academic/course work requirements should keep pace with your financial requirements. (See example in Tuition Schudule.) The UpDate (receipts) will keep you informed. Through perseverance, sacrifice, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit it all will come together at "point B."  God bless you.
